** The show has proved to be particularly respectful when a personnality that was not a horrible person died. When François Mitterrand died in 1996, the daily episode consisted of a single skit, showing him on his death bed, his soul rising and realizing he has died, then finding the answer to the ultimate question: Can a soul piss people off? He then proceeds to distract a walking man who hits a street light while looking for the voice calling him, and rejoices he now has eternity to annoy everyone. After this, his few cameos often include him in paradise, or tormenting whichever president is in office, often accompanied by Charles De Gaulle.
** Another example is singer Johnny Hallyday. On the day after his death, they covered his song "Quelque Chose De Tennessee" to have several puppets sing about how great he was.

Added DiffLines:
** A skit made one year after the November 2015 terror attacks showed a woman chatting through texts and reacting to various terror attacks on the news by lighting candles or showing variations of the "Je Suis Charlie" sign, progressively looking more and more distraught. At the end, she messages a friend asking about going to a concert at the Bataclan, implying that she herself is going to be a victim of the Bataclan shooting. It then turns out to be the reopening concert featuring Sting, then followed by a shot of the Eiffel Tower with the caption "Paris must go on".

** Nobody in France felt like laughing the evening of January 7th, 2015, after the Charlie Hebdo murders, and the Guignols' sketches' tone was generally sombre. One sketch has Guy Bedos, a French stand-up comedian, try to learn to draw to fill the dead cartoonists' shoes; he looks at his drawing, finds it crappy and tears it in two, tearfully shouting, "''Rendez-nous Charb, merde ! Rendez-nous Cabu, Wolinski, Tignous !''"[[note]]Give us Charb back, dammit! Give us back Cabu, Wolinski, Tignous![[/note]]
** [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] right after the 9/11 attack, as Guy Bedos managed to joke about the situation. Still, at the very beginning of the interview, Bedos admitted that "the death of 7000 people and the [[UsefulNotes/TheWarOnTerror war]] that comes after, [[{{Understatement}} barely make me smile.]]"

** The sketch about the Ministre du Redressement Productif (the guy whose supposed to restart industry) begins with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jTHNBKjMBU this music]] (Merrie Melodies & Looney Tunes - Opening themes). [[TakeThat You can guess what they think of him]].
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3XYuRjXJe4 Droite City]]: essentially, the intern struggles between the various politicians of the French right-wing portrayed as a ''ComicBook/SinCity'' parody. This is as hilarious as it sounds.
